Rolling Stone is highly regarded in the Obama administration.  Lots of close connections to the Choom Gang.  



"two high-level sources in the Obama administration told me recently that
the president has all but decided to deny the permit for the pipeline"

I need to have Barry pay me 10 billion to build a solar wind farm, then go bankrupt while pocketing 60% of the funds.

Seems to be the only way to get rich under this asinine administration.

At the same time, the president is likely to announce his decision on
the northern leg of the Keystone XL, the hugely controversial
1,179-mile-long pipeline that would bring tar-sands oil down from
Alberta to Gulf Coast refineries. Although no final decision has been
made, two high-level sources in the Obama administration told me
recently that the president has all but decided to deny the permit for
the pipeline – a dramatic move that would light up Democratic voters and
donors while further provoking the wrath of Big Oil.

Nailed it.



Buffet has had a lock on "tanker commodity" for about 10yrs.



One little chink in that armor is the current push from both the Canadian & US transportation agencies to further regulate tanker safety requirements after the rail tanker explosion in Quebec.



https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/canada-phase-old-rail-tank-150805800.html



The value of Buffet's tankers are going to decrease as more of them cross the boarder to the south from Canada.  Conversely, with no pipeline, the north south rail routes from North Dakota to TX are going to be busy.

I thinking he's mixing two people into one. Buffett and Steyer. Buffett owns the trains and Steyer is a billionaire who made a fortune in the stock market who happens to be a San Fran environmental moonbat.  Steyer committed $100M to help Dems in the midterm.

When the natural gas line came through, the only non union workers were the guys building the fences around the site after it was done.  Backhoe operators were making $100 an hour!  These guys worked half the year, hunted and fished the other half, most lived in 5th wheel trailers.

What a dumb bunch of fucks!  The oil will be processed, the question is who gets to do it.  Apparently the fuckheads rather it was shipped to China where they will process it the dirtiest, cheapest way possible.

This is THE ONLY viable solution to the consistent and persistent overreach of Federal authority.

The States need to step up and reclaim their rightful voice in this Union of ours, or divorce from the union and go there own way.

Courts, Congress and Presidents aren't going to do it, so the PEOPLE of the several STATES need to start doing it!

This.
One of the federal agencies involved in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process should be the lead agency for this project.  All other federal and state agencies, state and local governments, the public, involved businesses, etc... would be participants in the EIS process.
Once the report has gone through all of the reviews and public comment periods, etc... and was completed, the lead agency would issue a decision, published as the Record of Decision (ROD).

POTUS should not be the decision-maker here.
IMHO
edit - did a little digging.  State Department is the agency tasked with this as per EO 13337. An excerpt...
(i) The Secretary of State shall issue or deny the permit in accordance
with the proposed determination unless, within 15 days after
notification pursuant to paragraphs (g) or (h) of this section, an
official required to be consulted under paragraph (b)(ii) of this
section shall notify the Secretary of State that he or she disagrees
with the Secretary's proposed determination and requests the Secretary
to refer the application to the President. In the event of such a
request, the Secretary of State shall consult with any such requesting
official and, if necessary, shall refer the application, together with
statements of the views of any official involved, to the President for
consideration and a final decision.

So evidently, all it takes under the EO is for one of the other agency heads to disagree with the decision and request it go to POTUS.



Still don't think the POTUS should be involved.  There is a very defined NEPA process.  It should be followed without Whitehouse involvement IMHO.
